Join us for a spectacular winter flyout to Monterey this February 21-22! Few experiences compare to the thrill of flying along the Central California coastline, and this weekend we’ll combine that with one of nature’s greatest shows — gray whale migration season. Depart from the Bay Area and enjoy a scenic coastal cruise down to Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), where the rugged cliffs and crashing waves of the Pacific set the stage for an unforgettable weekend.
Once on the ground, we’ll head to Fisherman’s Wharf for a whale watching boat tour to spot gray whales, humpbacks, and maybe even orcas making their way through Monterey Bay. After a morning on the water, warm up with fresh clam chowder on Cannery Row and explore the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. For those looking to log some quality instrument time, the marine layer along the coast offers excellent real-world IFR practice on the flight down — a perfect opportunity to stay sharp on your approaches. Whether you’re coming for the flying, the whales, or the camaraderie, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss. Spots are limited, so sign up now!
